Austin Hughes Introduce InfraSolution X Cabinet Controller
Austin Hughes has developed a cabinet controller that can be used for either small or large data room installations. InfraSolution X allows cabinet control and monitoring of door handles, switching and monitoring of PDUs, control of cooling fan units, monitoring of temperature and humidity, as well as smoke, shock and water alarms for up to 800 cabinets over a local or wide area network.
The They usually include a back-up of up to 1000 mechanical key lock options that if necessary can override the electronic lock to open or close the cabinet door. Also, from a single PDU connection you can cascade up to a further three PDUs per cabinet. The box itself includes two large visual LED temperature monitoring windows.
Two other temperature monitors are also available directly from each PDU giving a potential of 10 temperature and humidity sensors per cabinet. The additional temperatures can be viewed either via the software or on the PDU LCD screen itself. The 1U rack mounted unit also has a dual AC / DC input accommodating a power fail feature.
